Piper's Playhouse

  • Theatre
  • Music

The curtain rises on Piper’s Playhouse – a 360° cabaret experience like no other.

For a limited time Crown transforms into a world of Parisian cabaret, live jazz, and immersive theatre. Explore shimmering halls, secret confessionals, and enjoy Piper-Heidsieck Champagne with a twist. No two nights are alike, featuring burlesque, drag, acrobatics, and illusions.

Hosted by drag star Jimi the Kween and headlined by Miss Burlesque Australia, Diesel Darling, with appearances by Zelia Rose and Clara Fable. When the curtains close on the show, the room transforms into the hottest after-hours salon in the city, a late-night piano bar with the swagger of Vegas and the heartbeat of Paris at dawn.

With 44 shows over 11 weeks, coinciding with the Australian Open, Midsumma, and F1 Grand Prix, it’s the ultimate summer night out. Tickets are limited to 260 seats per show, with VIP champagne packages available.

Performance notes: nudity, adult content, strictly 18+.
